Mum: Missing Miss Mavis Freeman”

JUNFEI HU 1973 (Hunan)

Free verse
You fell asleep peacefully,
Can you hear me calling softly?
“Mommy, mommy.”
The calling of children.

You
will not answer again.

Time,
A freeze-frame in our photo,
In our memories.
Your love,
The same love from my parents,
Will be with me forever.

Mum,
I hate running water,
The flow is ruthless,
Time flows like water,
I can't catch the river of time.

I can't hear you.
You fell asleep so peacefully
